Suggestion: Dupe slow reveal

Suggestion: Dupe reveal.

When selecting a new dupe at start or from the pod I would like to know less. I would like to see an option where only the main skill was listed and other interests and traits entered play over time (Happy Birthday!). This would help me overcome my re-roll tendencies while also expanding my playstyle by giving me dupes with attributes I typically would not print.

It is a "coming soon" option for the DGSM mod "option which will cover all traits for Duplicants selection, so you won't know what Duplicant it will be unless you get him. For those, who want to make game harded." The mod developer has a patron account so I bet some money would speed up the process and probably get you exactly what you want.

Printing pod is the last thing I wish they fixed before releasing DLC. In the past I've used re-roll mod to get the right dupe but I also despise "loot-box" tendencies, aka gambling. I feel your direction is much better option as all those negative traits are waste if I never pick them. If we could pick who our next dupe is e.g. digger, farmer, scientist etc. to give us some control over who we want. Then it gets printed over 3 cycles, once ready he gets automatically printed and then you learn what traits it has. It would make all traits relevant, it would add some survivability aka you need to deal with whatever got printed, and it would make killing dupes relevant again (if you really, really, really still dislike some dupe), but that would be also at higher cost as to learn dupe traits you need to wait 3 cycles and overcome killing trauma. I would also like to print whatever supply crate I want (from things already discovered), to avoid gambling here as well. Some tweaks to them would be required e.g. print only one fish, not 8.

I like your concept idea. Maybe the player could click on a button "Reveal all other traits - Warning: Increases negative traits", but doing this will result in double as bad traits for the dupe roll.

Also, each dupe re-roll could make negative traits further worse each time. I would like to have this in the vanilla game.

Sounds like dupe deaths would increase by orders of magnitude.

Hey Stinky, walk past that blooming bristle berry. The common barracks will smell similar. If you don't like it, there's a flower-less bedroom in the CO2 pit.

Catalina, you eat so much and yet don't put on any weight! It may be your genetics, but we need to check for internal parasites, just in case. Please come to the CO2 pit and wait until the doctor arrives.

Meep, please come through those one way doors to the CO2 pit. Now dig your way out to the other side. What do you mean you can't? The procedure doesn't handle this case... We'll send help. Until it arrives, occupy your thoughts by building a gravestone where you stand.

I always try to get Stinky, Max, and Otto as my starter dupes but it takes a half hour to get the three I want.
